President Obama Criticizes Kim Kardashian And Kanye West For Their Opulent Lifestyles

Kris Jenner fired back at President Barack Obama after he criticized her daughter Kim Kardashian and Kanye West for their opulent lifestyles.

The 57-year-old matriarch of the Kardashian clan during her Kris show on Friday said she disagreed with Obama that Kim and Kanye have been influencing the younger generation to be obsessed with wealth and money.

Obama, 52, in a recent Kindle Singles interview bemoaned the 'change in culture' that has warped the American Dream and referenced the E! Networks's popular Keeping Up With The Kardashian show.

There was not that window into the lifestyles of the rich and famous, Obama said of his time growing up.
"Kids weren't monitoring every day what Kim Kardashian was wearing, or where Kanye West was going on vacation, and thinking that somehow that was the mark of success," said the president, who has twice referred to Kanye in the past as a jackass.

Kris countered that she thought it was admirable that people, including a high school graduate such as herself, aspired to obtain great jobs.

"But, I wasn't aware that you could only set the bar so high and that we could only dream so big," Kris told the sympathetic studio audience.

Kris chided the Columbia University and Harvard Law School graduate for pointing out that Kim and Kanye live in a 10,000-square-foot house.
"I bet the President has some friends with 10,000 square foot houses and he probably wouldn't mind going over there when asking them to have a party for campaigning for dollars to run for president," Kris said.

"I find it so odd that he's picking on Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Well, Kanye West, first of all, doesn't go on vacation. Ever."

"And Kim Kardashian is the hardest-working young lady in the world. She never sleeps, she never stops, she never slows down and works so hard for what she's got."

She defended the Keeping Up With The Kardashians empire for employing hundreds of workers.
